Roy.....

Don't get started on spokes.   PLEASE.   I don't want to clean them.  I really don't.  But I have been SOOOOOOOOO tempted by a set of wheels with red hubs and rims and gold spokes that I saw.  They would be a nearly perfect complement to the red bike.  Was a cool spoke pattern too.  Please, just set the OCD weapon down and step away.  No one talk about spokes.  Really.  Please  .

[grandpadoc]

XXXX steel wool (4X) will clean the spokes. Just dab it in wax first and the oxidation and whatever will come right off, ooops didn't mean to talk about it.

All I'm gonna say about the 'spokes' is: they're polished Stainless Steel by Landmark....and they're spectacular!!!!      Har! and Roy, they're easy to keep clean, I just use a sponge or spoke brush or microfiber cloth....whatever is handy and hit 'um a lick or 2.  That stainless is wonderful for not rusting or getting grungy like the chromed steel does.    spyder

There's just something about steel wool anywhere within 10 feet of my scooter that makes the hair on my neck stand up.  I started to use it on the burned on oil splotches from my Rolling Thunder oil cooler failure, but resorted to simichrome and elbow grease.

I'm the same way.....I know that some use it to get the boot marks off of chrome pipes, but I believe it's just gotta scratch the chrome.  The semichrome polish and a cotton cloth is abrasive enough.  spyder

I've heard 4X will remove the chrome and expose the copper and nickel.  NOT good!  I believe I'd rather lay up on this one as opposed to going for the green.

[grandpadoc]

...4X is what they use to finish fine furniture, but to each there own.

We also use it on magnesium components such as rotor hubs prior to pre-primer/paint treatments with chromium trioxide and calcium sulfate.  Nasty stuff, and although I came very close to using 4X on my mufflers...........I can't get beyond the aviation applications.  That stuff removes metal.  Chrome is metal, so it removes chrome.<---------PERIOD!
